This is a native of the South of France, 
Italy, and Switzerland. It was cultivated by 
Miller as early as 1739; but being not quite 
hardy, it is rather subject to be lost in severe 
winters. The safest way is to preserve it from 
the frost in a frame. 
It sends up several small spreading 
branches, about a foot in height, each pro- 
ducing a number of flowers at the top. They 
last for a considerable time, being in per- 
fection in the months of June and July. It 
may be propagated by cuttings or seeds, 
which latter is the preferable way. The 
soil should be fresh loam, |
